[squid-users] Squid accelerators MS Windows Update: towards the end

Squid accelerator + SSL update :

when client requests https page, Squid accel.(which has installed SSL certificate)
is able to see (by SSL update) http content of this one;
1) What's required reason allowing toSquid to see the HTTP content ?
 after this stage what kind of request Accelerator does to remote server
?
2) https or http ?! I hope https.
3) If I was accelerate MS Windows Update site, I should have installed 2
SSL certificates ?! one in Squid accelerator and the another in Microsoft
Windows Update ?!
4) What's the difference between "THE SQUID CERTIFICATE" and that one inside
MS server ?!
5) Are Client and Squid accel. certificates only necessary to establish
first communication towards Accel. regardless MS W.U. , then Squid does
a "true" https request to remote server ?!

6) It's possible that Squid Accelerator NAT every https
request towards 443 port ?! Using FWTK TIS ?!

thanks again to all squid-users.
